Guest Petina Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hi! we are retired grandparents, thinking of moving to Australia to join our son and daughter and respective families. We would have to go under the contributory parents visa (not cheap!). It is a big decision and we were wondering if there are any other parents/grandparents who have moved and have any advice.

If you are not sure if you want to live in Australia forever, you should look at the subclass 173 Temporary Contributory Parent Visa. This is cheaper than the permanent version and lets you stay in Australia for two years. If you then decide to stay permanently you can apply for the Permanent Contributory Parent Visa.

Linday Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Hi, there is also a long term visitor visa for parents of Australian/citizens which allows stays of up to 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
